I build systems that learn from data.

Founder of Klytotech LLC — building production AI systems for healthcare, biotech, and finance.

Across Domains

The statistical rigor behind a trading system's risk layer is the same rigor behind a clinical study's propensity matching. I've worked across quantitative finance, neuroscience, and biotech. The transfer between domains is what keeps it interesting.

Algorithmic Trading

Atlas trades 0-1 DTE SPY options using regime detection across 6 market states. 8 processes, 12 features, 11 entry guards, real capital. It closes every position by 3:55 PM — no overnight risk.

Open Source

The tools I build for my own work end up as public libraries. Data pipelines, visualization tools, ML utilities — documented, tested, and on GitHub.

Clinical Research

Alzheimer's research with the NACC dataset — 130,000+ longitudinal observations across 37 centers. Survival analysis, propensity matching, currently under peer review. The question was interesting, so I built the pipeline.

You made it to the end. That usually means something here was relevant to what you're building.
